The merits won't come back. But they can investigate if the case was a fraud on the federal court.
They just sued to stop that. No Congressional input? But Congress gets to pick one? Funny how you contradict yourself
If the case is reopened, then the dismissal with prejudice, is void...the case is live again.
Didn't realize she reopened it....
The SOLs don't run until Trump got notice, and he didn't get notice from the IRS until 2024

He was aware it was leakedLOL
The New York Times article about Trump not paying taxes was repeated amongst social media and mainstream media dates from September 2020.
Trump was President at the time and running for reelection. No reasonable person would believe that he didn’t know about it or that a member of his staff wouldn’t have made him aware.
Especially since his consumption of social media and main stream media is well known.
Since the tax leak would not have any relation to his official duties then communications and depositions of staff would be appropriate.

NYT obtains 2 decades of Trump's tax info; he paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won presidency
According to The New York Times, Trump paid only $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency and again during his first year in office.
Except the government, which was run by Trump, didn't make that argument. See why there was a fraud committed yet:?
It won't come back because they won't get it through a court due to the statute of limitations expiring years ago. That's why they settled. To avoid court. But in doing so, the screwed over the judge who dismissed the case expecting to hear the details of a proposed settlement. Instead, she learned through the news like the rest of us that Trump and his former private attorney reached a deal without court review. That's why she reopened it.
That's not what the statute says. The date Trump filed, was two years from when Littlejohn was sencenced
Hopefully, the judge will vacate the settlement for being made in bad faith and then dismiss the case based on the statute of limitations being past.
Littlejohn was convicted in October 2023. That's when Trump had absolutely proof of who and how his tax returns were released.
He TACO'd on the money, not the ability for him. family and business entities to be above the law.
Trump to abandon $1.776 billion compensation fund amid bipartisan backlash, source says
The president was left with a choice: Keep fighting an uphill battle or back down from a fight he was likely to lose. He apparently went with the latter.www.ms.now
Too much heat from his own party, so he ran away.
I can see where Todd Blanche will find himself in line behind Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesebro, James Troupis, John Eastman, Christina Bobb, Jeffrey Clark, Sidney Powell, Michael Cohen, Alina Habba, Cleta Mitchell and Ray Smith.
The judge doesn't have to vacate the settlement, because it was withdrawn "with prejudice" which ended Trump being able to put forth any arguments over the merits of the case.
That's more oversight then they have now, the current Settlement Fund, only the DOJ, ultimately the AG, makes the decision.
no, they settled out of Court, like what happens in the VAST majority of all civil cases...only about 1-3 percent of all civil cases actually go to trial in the United States.
